    Not who you want him too, not who you think he should, who you actually think will be the opposite corner to him for his next fight.

    If Pacquiao does fight Crawford and Pacquiao wins easily then retires Bob is pretty screwed. :hey

    Provodnikov is a possibility. The more I think about it though, the more I think Matthysse.

    If Brandon Rios manages to beat Tim Bradley, there is no doubt we can expect that rematch.

    "Kell Brook - Diego Chaves winner"

    Wasn't that cancelled due to Brook injury?

    Not cancelled, postponed. Brook's trainer said he thinks Brook will be back out before the end of the year. Hearn said either Dec 12th or Dec 19th possible but no earlier and may have to be next year.

    Khan would be the best money fight for him IMO.

    Of the options on the poll? No that would be a Mayweather rematch :bart

    Probably a Marquez rematch does better too

    Right, just assumed Floyd is retired and overlooked the options :lol: But I'm not sure about Marquez, we've all had enough of that.

    I think it will be Terrence Crawford. It's the 2nd best scenario for boxing, but probably the best scenario for Top Rank and HBO. I would like to see the star power transferred to Brook, as he is a true welter and is very good, and I'm for some reason more interested in seeing him fight Manny. But I have a strong feeling it could be Crawford. They need to pass along the torch/star power to the future.

    I agree passing the torch to Brook is the best thing that could happen for boxing. Brook has no alliance in the Arum/ Haymon feud so could fight anyone at Welterweight, and getting a big scalp like Pacquiao would mean they are then more willing to fight him.

    Plus it would e quite funny seeing Khan having to beg Brook for a payday. :yep

    Yes, Id love to see that. Then I would hope Brook accepts out pity and shatters Khan's glass mandible.

    Geneuinely expecting another fight with Marquez after pretending to negotiate with some live bodies. Not sure Pac wants any part of guys like Khan or Crawford, even though I reckon he'd maul Khan and be favourite against Crawford.

    Hope I'm wrong.

    The Khan fallacy continues. Guy has basically no fans in any continent and yet somehow continues to convince people in all of them he has big followings elsewhere. Incredible stuff.
